He's off to Wakey

Ali should fit in well with Tadulala, Korkidas, Tony and Leo-Latu.



It's a good job they shifted Kevin Penny to fit Tadulala under the cap this season eh?

Not for me - I think Sal's bang on with his second point about Peacock's lateral mobility.



He'll still get you up and down the pitch but he's becoming more of a target defensively and not going to be get any more agile at this stage in his career.



I know he wants another crack at the Aussies having missed out last year, but I'm not convinced his body will cope with the short turnaround in the off-season. I can see the 2012 version of Jamie Peacock being as effective as the 2011 version of Keith Senior was.

Maybe Andy but whichever version of Peacock we have he remains our most effective front rower. Until we can improve his supporting cast I see little logical reason not to keep him around.

Fair enough.



If he remains Leeds most effective front rower through 2012 and into 2013 I would suggest it has plenty to do with a lack of competition for that mantle.

The ability to concede a penalty withing the opening 10 seconds of any given encounter should not be under-estimated or under-valued.

I don't see it myself to be honest, I would guess that Peacocks tackle ratio is a lot better than most props in SL.



He's still recovering from a knee reconstruction and I don't think he's in terminal decline like Senior was/is.

Agree, and generally, lateral movement places more pressure etc on joints than back forward does.
